I was thinking about it and it made me think of you! Learn the difference between think about and think of

将帅是国君的辅佐，辅佐得周详严密，国家就必定强盛；辅佐有疏漏，国家就必然衰弱。
 
国君对军队的危害大体有三种：不了解军队不可以进攻而命令进攻，不了解军队不能撤退而强令军队撤退，这叫做束缚军队；不懂得军中事务却要干预军队的管理事务，将士们会无所适从；不懂得军队作战的权宜机变，却要干预军队的指挥，将士就会产生疑虑。如果军队既无所适从，又疑虑重重，其他诸侯国就会趁机兴兵作难。这就叫做自乱其军，自取其败。因此，以下五种情况可预见获胜：懂得什么情况下可以与敌作战，什么情况下不能与敌作战的，能够获胜；懂得根据兵力的多寡而灵活采取不同战略战术的，能够获胜；将帅与士兵同心同德、同仇敌忾的，能够获胜；以有备之师对付疏懈之敌的，能够获胜；将帅有组织指挥才能而国君又不妄加干预的，能够获胜。这五者是作战取胜的根本条件。
 
所以说：既了解敌方情况，又了解自己情况，才能常胜不败；不了解敌方情况，只了解自己情况，胜败的几率均等；既不了解敌方情况，又不了解自己情况，那每战必败。
